The static design of foundations for tower cranes is mostly based on calculations of structural safety. Nevertheless further investigations considering the interaction between soil and structure including settlement calculations for evaluating the inclination of the crane are essential for safe and economic foundation solutions. Based on the experience of more than 150 tower crane positions throughout Europe a method has been developed satisfying the normative and crane specifically requirements and meeting the standards of one of the biggest building contractors in Europe.
